Yes.

I have about 50% hearing loss in one ear and it is not a laughing matter....haha....as it is not "fixable".

Mine was not caused by wind noise, but it makes me a little more careful about what hearing I have left.

Because, apparently, it is hard to properly convey sarchasm in a text message. :skull:

Just do like me and wear "ear plugs", the kind that have music coming out of them, that way you don't get the wind noise in your ears, and you get to hear some good tunes in the process :rawk: . I have some that work like ear plugs, you still them in your ears and even when i don't have the music on, they block out almost all the wind noise.

I personally do not see how you guys ride for hours on end listening to nothing but wind and engine noise, that would drive me crazy. Hell that is half the reason I enjoy riding so much, I get to get away and just cruise and listen to some tunes.

And no loosing your hearing is not a laughing matter, after attending 40+ rock/metal concerts without hearing protection, and shooting countless guns without any, I can't sleep in a totally quiet room because all I can hear is ringing in my ears, LOUD RINGING.

If there's any music sweeter to my ears than the hum of a BMW Boxer engine on the 2 lane, with the wind singing backup, I've never heard it.
